2022 Fender Custom Shop ’65 Reissue Stratocaster Journeyman Relic Limited Edition in Aged Blue Sparkle; Comes with Original Hard Case and Pro-Setup

Here we have a 2022 Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition ’65 Journeyman Relic Stratocaster in Aged Blue Sparkle! Basic features of this strat are the 2-piece Alder body, and a comfy medium “C”-shape Maple neck with a 9.5″ radius and white binding on the side. This Custom Shop Journeyman Relic Strat arrived to us in Original and Excellent+ Condition! The Journeyman guitars exemplify a medium amount of aging from Fender CS. The finish on the body is complete with checking, with added simulated dings and small finish chips here and there. The back of the neck has finish worn off, to give a comfortable “fast” feel to the player when going up and down the neck. The only signs of actual player wear are the few faint pickguard scratches that don’t fall in line with the Fender relicing process. No fret wear is present on the guitar. Given what we know about the customer who sold us this guitar, this strat has never been gigged – just lightly played at home once in a while. This was a limited run from the Fender Custom Shop for the unique Aged Blue Sparkle finishing in the Journeyman series. Please see all the photos depicting the condition of this beautiful instrument.

This strat comes with the original hard case, with the Certificate of Authenticity booklet, tremolo arm, bridge “ash tray” cover, strap, and the rest of the case candy/paperwork. It has been professionally setup by our shop repairman, and is ready for it’s next owner!
